Celebrating 50 years since the first moon landing, this years Summer Reading Challenge will be blasting off in all Swindon’s libraries from Saturday (13 July), along with an out of this world art competition, open to all ages! Design your own planet!

I visited Crowdys Hill School yesterday to launch the art competition, in which you get to design and name your own planet! Their will be 14 winners, one from each library, and each will win a signed copy of my latest picture book, Amazing. I will also pick an overall win, who will win a class visit from yours truly.

Last years art comp was so much fun - design Mr Panda’s Hat - and we received over 500 colourful entries. The year before we had the Design a Doughnut comp which was great fun too.

You can take part in the Summer Reading Challenge and the Design your own Planet competition by visiting your local Swindon library where you can pick up a competition sheet. Deadline: Sept 9th.
